Edit: since I'm being blasted for asking for others' insight, let me explain.
I support Obama. I love him, most of the time.
He is the first in many, many years to not take advantage of this opportunity. Including previous presidents.
He had an opportunity to meet the new Egyptian president for the first time.
People on DU are sometimes very smart and might have been able to shed some light on his decision, provide ideas that I haven't thought of.
Instead most of you are being jerks.
Sorry I'm human.

Seems he should have used this opportunity. He has never met several of these key leaders and seems to have blown a significant foreign policy opportunity.

His spokesman says his calendar is busy. The only thing on the official calendar is a campaign appearance.

I think if you look at my posts you'll see that I am thoughtful and considerate, and dislike name calling. I have been on DU since the early 2000s though I was booted off early on for asking what FR stood for. I petitioned to be reinstated after a few months and rejoined.

I feel accosted almost every time I post a question or thought on DU. Please relax and back off.
